Cat and Mouse

"Cat and mouse" is a metaphor describing a scenario of pursuit and evasion. Typically, the "cat" symbolizes an entity seeking to catch or control, such as a regulator or attacker, while the "mouse" represents the counterpart trying to escape, evade, or outsmart the pursuer, like a security system or individual. This dynamic is common in cybersecurity, sports, negotiations, and strategic conflicts, illustrating a continuous game of chasing and evading tactics, where both sides adapt and strategize to achieve their respective goals.
